HC Deb 15 March 1972 vol 833 cc98-9W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the acreage of land presently taken up by the public and private sectors of housing in Scotland at the present time; and if he will estimate how many acres will be taken up by each sector in each of the next two years.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I do not have centrally all the information needed to make these estimates. I am urging local planning authorities to ensure that enough land is zoned in good time for both public and private housing, so that development is not held up for lack of sites.
